NOTICE
Under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs) must develop an emergency response plan, review the plan at least annually, and provide information about chemicals in the community to citizens. Our Mercer County LEPC is long-standing but struggling with participation. We are in the process of new Bylaws formulation and a participation drive. Plans are developed by LEPCs with stakeholder participation.
The Next meeting of the Mercer County LEPC is scheduled for Jan. 16, 2024 @ 12:00 noon @ the Karen Preservatti Center in Princeton, WV.
The LEPC membership must include (at a minimum):
• Elected state and local officials
• Police, fire, civil defense, and
public health professionals
• Environment, transportation, and hospital officials
• Facility representatives
• Representatives from
community groups and the
media
